the exhibition explores the hidden archive of maps made by people on the move, images and diagrams that are exchanged, distributed, commented on, and annotated by and for the very people who use them. Before and during the journey come the maps; they bear witness and respond to the shifting regimes and technologies of fortification, to the intimidation, weather, hospitality, law, and violence that govern and structure possible journeys. These maps come, one by one and piece by piece, from the crowd en route–many bear very precise indexical traces, whether dropped pins or geotagged metadata, of where and when they came into being.
